Getting around the University of Washington campus safely--no matter how you get around--requires everyone to pay attention. Be aware of what is happening around you-- look, listen and respect the rights of others.

• Obey traffic signals. If you don’t stop on red, what makes you sure someone else will?
• See the whites of their eyes. Before crossing a street or trail, make eye contact with the driver of any approaching vehicle and signal your intent to cross.
• Look before you leap. Stop and look both ways, then wait until oncoming vehicles come to a complete stop before crossing.
• Be a flasher. Wear bright-colored or reflective clothing when biking or walking at night or in low-light conditions.
• Don’t be directionally challenged. Ride your bike with the traffic flow. Walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks.
• Use your senses. Watch and listen for bikes and walkers on shared trails.
• Don’t crash the party. Walk bicycles in dismount
  zones and other crowded areas.
